Can 10 in Trailer Wheels and Tires be Upgraded to 12 inch Wheels and Tires

Question

Question:

I have a 1997 Jayco 12 UDK popup camper with 205/65/10 wheels. I would like to upgrade to a 12inch wheel with a radial tire. Is this upgrade possible? It looks like I have about 2inch of space around the wheel on all sides I had the old hub centric hubs replaced because the lug bolt threads were stripped and those were replaced with new Lug Centric hubs/lug nuts.

If you have the additional needed fender clearance then yes you could go to a larger tire and wheel size. Do you know what bolt pattern you need? If you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern the part # AM31202 would work.

Or if you have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern the part # AM35351DX would fit. The overall diameter of the tire is 21.3 inches. You would need to compare that to your available room.
